The Many Benefits of a Water Filter System

Good for your plumbing – The Texas Gulf Coast has some of the hardest water in the country. It is filled with lots of minerals that can be harmful. In addition, our local water supply is subjected to exposure to many manufacturing and industry that could potentially seep in to the water supply. A water filter system can remove these harmful substances.

Good for your health – It is never good to drink the toxins that are in the tap water. What many people don’t realize is that when they take a shower, they are breathing in the toxins in the steam. Also your skin acts like a sponge and it is absorbing all of the nasty chemicals in the water.

Saves money – Having a water filtration system means that you no longer need to buy bottled water. You can drink the water straight out of the tap. Our water filtration systems will last up to 15 years, which totals a great deal of savings in bottled water alone.

Most Common Problems with Water Filter Systems

System Stops Working: Like any appliance there is a life expectancy of your water filter system. Your water filtration system will most like use carbon to filter the water. Depending on the quality of the carbon, the life expectancy is 5-15 years.

Water Filter System Leaks: Water filter systems can leak. Sometimes the seals can go bad and sometimes excess water pressure can cause the filter system to leak. One of our licensed plumbers can usually quickly determine the cause of the leak

No power: The first thing you should check is to make sure the unit is plugged in. If it is, next check the breaker box to make sure the breaker didn’t trip. If it is still not working, then give us a call.
